In Feng Shui we have 3 Kinds of Luck that we work with and each represents 33.3% of our cumulative luck. The good news is that 2 out of three or 66.6% of our good fortune we actually have agency over! SPIRITUAL & DIVINE LUCKThe first kind of luck is referred to as Spiritual or Divine luck. Some refer to it as divine timing or destiny. This kind of luck we don’t have agency over but we do have a tool to gage it and that is (Astrology) which helps us determine when our most fortunate times to implement things might be. Listen folks, I’m an Astrology enthusiast and student but not an expert. I do however pay strong attention to the trends because they influence us and since this is such an astrologically pivotal month, I’m going to share this month’s highlights for you to consider. We have a plethora of astrological activity starting with a new moon in Leo on 8/4/24; what’s a new trend starting for you here? Mercury the planet of communication and technology goes Retrograde from 8/5/24 to 8/28/24; what old projects, friends, ideas and trends are returning to your consciousness? Then we have the Lions-gate Portal on 8/8/24, what new aspect of yourself and your life is completely transforming? And finally the full “blue” moon on 8/19/24 when something comes to a dramatic culmination, what’s that look like for you? The whole month we will be navigating the retrograde! This will color everything from our communication, to technology creating a need to double check, reassess, and refine everything. Sounds like fun right?! That’s my synopsis for August but believe me there’s way more, these are just the highlights. Now on to the other kinds of luck we work with in Feng Shui.HUMAN LUCK Human Luck is the next and second kind of luck we talk about in Feng Shui. It is essentially our Attitude or Energy and our Intention and Attention. This kind of luck we absolutely have agency over however, many of us struggle with maintaining and cultivating a positive attitude and directing our energy towards productive things. It helps to ponder on what our desired outcome is and how we want to feel as a result. Meditation, journaling, studying the law of attraction and folks like Esther Hicks, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and Developmental Biologist Bruce Lipton can really help with tools for upgrading our attitudes and what we give our attention to.EARTHLY LUCK The 3rd and final kind of luck we talk about in Feng Shui is Earthly Luck! My favorite because it is everything we can physically do that is actionable and specifically refers to Feng Shui. So everything from feng shui cures, adjustments and actions you take physically in the world towards your goals is Earthly Luck! Earthly Luck also includes all kinds of actions we take in the physical world towards our goals like classes, exercise, networking, meditation, Feng Shui etc. So the 3 kinds of luck are Spiritual, Human and Earthly! If you cultivate all three of these, then you have your best shot at living your best life. ENERGETIC FARMING I think of Feng Shui in terms of energetic farming. Creating a supportive setting at home is like tending to your garden. For example, if you want to invite love into your life, you have to make physical room for it. Perhaps you clear out some space in your closet for that special someone you haven’t met yet. That said, making room for love doesn’t guarantee that the love of your life will enter your life immediately upon these changes. What it does do is plant the seed for that love to enter and confirm your participation and collaboration with the universe. It’s your invitation for love to enter. Astrology helps us to know when to plant the seeds and when we might anticipate their blooms. While we can’t control exactly when things will bloom, we can definitely control whether or not we plant and cultivate our energetic garden! If you don’t plant the seeds and care and nurture them, then you can’t expect anything to bloom. But if you are planting and cultivating you can have confidence in that your dream

Today we are talking about Closet Feng Shui as a meditation on who we have been and who we are becoming. Are you showing up as a leading lady or background player? Clothes can help us be seen or they can help us hide and blend in. From a Feng Shui perspective, Feng Shuing one’s closet is as important as any other room! One of the areas folks seem to struggle with most is decluttering their closets. Part of this can stem from an energetic attachment to who they have been even when that part of themselves is no longer serving them. Our clothes and closets depict how we present ourselves to the world. All of our armor is there, like protective gear. Also our personality and the “characters” we’re playing live inside our closets via our costumes and wardrobe. I want to help people learn about themselves in a deeper way through their clothes and uncover new aspects of themselves that are ready to be revealed and experienced. This can be a freeing and cathartic experience! I can definitely attest to that through my own fashion journey. Let’s make dressing a therapeutic and empowering practice. These sentiments are why I became fixated on the niche of Feng Shui that applies to dressing and embarked on my Fashion Feng Shui ®️ training & Apprenticeship. My Apprenticeship is now nearing its completion in August and I’m gearing up for a Fall Launch in September of my Closet Feng Shui Services! It’s the perfect timing for Closet Clearing and preparing for the new season.I want to give as much importance to dressing as I do decorating and translate in energetic terms how it’s all connected! I have this theory that you can take a woman who feels plain and transform her into a great beauty through impeccable style and grooming. Some call it glamour magic. By the same token you can take an objectively beautiful woman and minimize her looks with poor grooming and drab ill fitting clothes. Think Hollywood…. They do this all the time! They take great beauties and have them play a character who is supposed to be unattractive and they dull hear beauty with drab unflattering costuming, hair and makeup for the role. We let the clothes inform us of a characters role. Is she a leading lady or an extra? It’s all done through the illusion of makeup and wardrobe. What if you were the one inadvertently painting yourself into a plain Jane because you didn’t feel good inside? You couldn’t see the best version of yourself. Sometimes we need a fresh set of eyes to help us see our potential. That’s the role I will be playing, where I see your highest potential through my Feng Shui eyes.The analogy I just made about wardrobe can also be true of physical spaces! You could be living in the most expensive zip-code and in a mansion filled with clutter, filth and chaos. Folks could enter such a home and feel disgust and discomfort. You might as well live on the streets in a tent if this is how you’re going to treat your sacred space. By the same token, you could have a modest home that is so beautifully arranged, maintained and nurtured, that people are instantly inspired and welcomed. Between these two options I would hands down choose the latter. In this case, it truly is what’s inside and how well it’s expressed that matters. When it comes to dressing, it’s about revealing what’s inside through our clothes. Using it as a means to communicate a visual story. People can express how they feel about themselves through their wardrobe and even how they feel about you. Did, your date go to the trouble of properly grooming? Or do they look like they just rolled out of bed? We are forever communicating with nonverbal cues.CLOSET AUDITSWhat’s in your closet? Could it use a pruning? For me personally closet auditing is a continuous process of editing and purging. I’m in a rapid state of change so my wardrobe has been in a state of going from caterpillar to butterfly! I have a new rule that before I add anything new to my wardrobe, I must first subtract something. Mari KondoI love recommending the Konmari Method originated by Mari Kondo and spelled out in her bestselling book called THE LIFE CHANGING MAGIC OF TIDYING UP. Her organizational shows on Netflix really captured people’

In my last episode I talked about Bedding and specifically curating outfits for your bed with intention. We have all heard the term “Dress For Success.” In the same vein, we can dress our beds for rest and romance. I told you about and showed you all my Bed’s Outfits and how I was awaiting an entirely new Motif! Today I’m reporting back about my brand new Celestial themed Sun & Moon Duvet set. It’s Chic “AF”. I’m obsessed 🤩. It’s giving me high end Palm Springs Mid Century Modern hotel suite vibes. It feels sexy and luxurious to me. The Golden burnt orange and cream hues are both stimulating and grounding. The bold Sun and Moon print is a complete departure from my floral’s and it’s giving me life! My golden moon cycle feature over my bed along with my artwork depicting a sun and moon labyrinth beside the bed all tie in beautifully. I could not be more pleased. There’s a clear theme that speaks to partnership and a balance of masculine and feminine. It also feels rich! I should mention that my bedroom includes what’s known in Feng Shui as the Prosperity Gua and energetic center for abundance so I definitely want to nurture that energy. In my bedroom, I actually have 3 Guas or energetic centers represented in my bedroom. By the way Guas are Energetic Areas of your home that are included in what’s called The Bagua Map and there are nine of them. In my bedroom, I have the Family Gua which I mentioned in the last episode, the Prosperity Gua and my closet where all my clothes live is in the Skills & Knowledge gua. Talk about foreshadowing my Fashion Feng Shui®️ journey. BAGUA MAPNEW OUTFIT - DRESSING FOR THEM I specifically wanted to find a duvet cover that would not be emasculating to a man who didn’t care for frilly girly bedding but would still reflect my aesthetic. I think I nailed it! Whatever your communicating with your bed is either an invitation to a potential partner or a red flag. Same intent applies for a current partner! You should both feel at home in the bed.RED FLAGS & BEDSI want to share an example of what I consider to be a red flag and quite honestly you should too. Some years back, I went on a date with a very handsome and talented musician. He was hot!!! I love artists of all kinds. People with an aesthetic world view very much appeal to me. He was charming and expressed great interest in me. On our very first date we met for drinks and then went to a music club where he played. We were getting along famously and I thought wow this is going great! At some point during the evening he wanted to stop by his apartment to grab his instrument and he insisted it was walking distance from the club we were at, so I agreed. Please note this man knew I was Feng Shui consultant and should have had some idea that I would be reading his space with a more keen eye than your average bird. As we approached his building, I noticed it was one of those 70’s stucco structures with little or no character. He was a struggling musician so no bigy. What matters is what’s inside right? Well inside was a twin mattress on the floor in the center of the apartment and almost nothing else. His first story apartment had a sad view of the parking lot. Everything was grey or beige. Zero charm not even a piece of art or a book or a plant to give the space some life, some hope. It looked like the kind of space a serial killer or assassin might live. It was dingy and gross and he should have never brought me there. At least not on the first date. I immediately lost all interest and knew it was time to leave. I found the twin mattress on the floor with no other seating options super creepy. By the way nothing screams single and not ready to mingle more than a twin mattress! These are for children not grown men. No place to sit or entertain? Seriously? Offensive and presumptuous. These things are not trivial. It spells out a very specific narrative. It starts with the bed being just for one and continues from there to get worse and worse. There was not one redeeming feature and believe me I looked. Yes it’s a cautionary tale but one we can all learn from. Had he had at least a futon to sit on and even the smallest bit of charm like a record player or something, perhaps I could have look

For all my other content and services check out my Link-tree. Today I’m talking about How you can apply Fashion to Feng Shui and more specifically to Dressing Up your Bed. So far, I’ve mostly spoken about how to Feng Shui your Fashion. It goes both ways though because dressing and decorating go hand in hand energetically. I told you when I began this “Where Feng Shui Meets Fashion” Journey here on Substack that I would be sneaking Feng Shui in through the closet. Today I coming to you from the bedroom. I suppose I’m getting real personal with you and jumping right into bed for this story. From a Feng Shui perspective or really just good old common sense, your bed is the most important piece of furniture in your life! Not just your home, but your life. If you’re only going to Feng Shui 1 room in your home, make it the bedroom and if it’s only one thing, make it your bed! Sleep is one of the most important indicators of good health. Your bed has as much to say about your health and wellbeing as it does about your love life. If you’re going to invest in just one piece of furniture this year, make it your bed. Comfort is king! I know mattresses are expensive so for immediate gratification and enhancement to your quality of life, let’s talk bedding. Bedding is an accessible upgrade and easily interchangeable. It’s also a fantastic redecorating on a budget hack. It will change the entire look and feel of your bedroom. Let’s look at the energetics of your Bedding and how to enhance rest and romance. The 2 major themes of this room. Think of your bedding sheets and duvet as your beds wardrobe. Most people only have one “outfit” for their beds. The duvet specifically is the part of the outfit everyone sees and the sheets are like undergarments. Would you only wear one outfit? Why should your bed? Color, texture, material, design and print all have a tremendous energetic impact. I have 5 outfits and counting for my beds duvet. They each invite and say something different. FLORAL BOUQUET DUVET Pictured first is my Floral Bouquet Duvet Cover. It’s been my favorite for years and I liked it so much I bought 2. It’s a good thing I did because my cats tore into the first one and over the years those tiny tears grew into large rips until I finally threw it out a couple weeks ago. I went on to order a totally new duvet to replace it. Meanwhile I was genuinely sad and mourned its loss until I remembered I had a back up! This is the back up! If you have pets, children, like to eat or drink in bed, then may I suggest a backup? The energetic impetus for this duvet is 3 fold. I see everything with “Feng Shui Eyes” so there’s a strategy and a story behind every aesthetic choice I make. First of all, I immediately loved it and found it beautiful. I’m a fan of bold color. It is a floral which represents Wood Element with Red & Pink Flowers that represent Fire Element. My bed happens to be in what’s known in Feng Shui as the Family Gua. In Feng Shui this area of the home is supported by the Wood element. Wood represents growth and initiating energy. The Bed is also placed in the Fame & Reputation Gua/Area of my Bedroom which is supported by Fire Element. And let’s not forget wood feeds the fire. But fire burns the wood so I vascilate on which of these energies I’m feeding. The Fire element here helps enhance romance, passion and visibility. While it can be sexy, it is not my most restful option. This duvet has a stimulating energy, but sometimes I desire a more restful vibe and I can get “burnt out” and choose to switch things up. It’s okay to have different moods and ways to express them. Bedding is a good way to indicate what you are welcoming into your life and bed.MANDALA DUVET Pictured Here is my more Neutral gold and cream Indian Mandala Duvet Cover. When I want a more Zen experience, I choose this one. You’ll notice I also have interchangeable floor rugs that are washable. Pets and life’s little surprises make these a necessity. Did someone throw up on the rug? No problem! I just swap it out with a back up and do some laundry…. When sleep and meditation are on the menu, this is what the bed wears, but honestly this is now my least chosen option. It’s there when I need it, but I have since moved on to a Magic Mushroom Motif that is both Zen and green therefore represents wood element without all the fire of

I had a Fashion Trip on the 4th of July! I attended a Pool Party at a fancy hotel rooftop with a group of girlfriends. In case you’re wondering, no I did not wear Red, White, And Blue…. That would have been too obvious. I chose a lane and committed to all White! For those of you reading this, the pictures will tell the story better than I can describe. And if you’re currently just listening on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube You can find the Visuals on my Substack where this Podcast originates as a hybrid Newsletter with picture’s, text, audio and sometimes video! My handle is @thefengshuilady. I encourage you to follow and subscribe!I’ll be the first to admit, I struggled with my wardrobe choice on the 4th because quite frankly, I did not feel Bikini Ready. I’m sure most women can relate. I also live in Los Angeles a city where the bar for body standards is exceptionally high. I almost wore a 1 piece but my style vision won over my insecurities. I have this amazing long white Crochet Style Beach Dress in my closet I had purchased for a pool or beach day just like this. It was screaming to be worn and it wanted to be paired with my white bikini. No other choice would have had the same impact. So I channeled my inner Lena Dunham circa her HBO Girls days where she was constantly naked or running around in a bikini. Her body confidence was off the charts and I really needed some of that energy. I have the body I deserve meaning I have been eating whatever I want as much as I want and perhaps more than I need. I’m objectively slim but not as slim as I have been. I vacillate and I was on the upswing. This year I was simply not very strategic in preparing for Independence Day. The tummy wants what the tummy wants, you know what I mean? Pictured are my two bathing-suit options that I tried on the night before. My white Bikini and my Leopard print 1piece. When I went to bed I was convinced I’d be wearing the one piece covering my tummy. In the morning however, I had a fashion over insecurity moment and I’m really glad I did. White energetically is a reflective color. In fact it’s the recommended color to wear during a Shamanic experience. I feel protected in white even if I am highly visible. It’s what I wear when I clear a space and it’s a color I only really started wearing from head to toe in the last few years. I also love pairing it with black. Very Yin & Yang vibes.All that said I know I made the right choice! I wore white on white with a hint of blue found in a pair of long dangly turquoise earrings. My hair was strategically tied in a top bun so I wouldn’t get it wet and didn’t have to think about it. This worked out perfectly because of course I forgot my brush that day. A crochet cover up is a great way to play peekaboo without revealing everything. Eventually though, I did take it off and run around in my white bikini. It’s amazing the kind of confidence one can muster after a little wine… I don’t however recommend magic mushrooms 🍄 for such a public outing. I debated whether or not to share this part of the story but I feel it’s pertinent. In my Lyft and on my way to the festivities, I did happen to eat 2 mushroom gummies with active psilocybin properties. They are legal by the way and I got them from therapist friend. They are designed to be therapeutic in nature. I have only ever taken magic mushrooms aka psilocybin as a sacrament and or with a Shaman as a Spiritual experience. These gummies were different. On this occasion in a micro dose, I thought perhaps they would give me that Lena Dunham confidence, instead they made me incredibly nauseous and for the first hour I was at the pool rooftop, I was basically catatonic. This was poor judgment on my part! For that first hour, I did manage to take some pictures while I kept my dress on in the blazing hot sun. Then just like that, I snapped out of it. Like after you purge during an Ayahuasca ceremony and feel so relieved as the spiritual insights begin to wash over you. The brutal nausea finally subsided and I perked right up. I then switched to wine which had a much more desirable effect. I took off my dress and got in the pool with my friends. Everything shifted and I was so happy to be swimming, just so happy... When I emerged from the water with my girlfriends, a woman in a red bikini approached me and said she’d been watching and admiring me since I had arrived! I’m thinking did she notice how sick I was? Apparently not! She said I was the chicest girl there and she was so impressed with my style. “No one dresses in LA” she insisted, “But you showed up in a dress and heals at a pool party!” I’m thinking in my head how I was just trying to camouflage my body for that first hour and not throw up. She however, saw me as glamorous and lounging…. She mentioned she had just moved back to La from The East Coast and was utterly unimpressed with the way women were dressing here. My friend Candace thanked her for her basically making my day and said “You two sho

For my first “Where Feng Shui Meets Fashion” video Podcast I’m sharing an audio and video version of a recent post on Substack called “My Fashion Trifecta”. It’s a little different than the original post only because when you verbalize something it evolves and so does the language and narrative around it. Feel free to read the original written post but also know with this verbalized and visual version, the story has evolved and this is the more current incarnation.My Venn Diagram of my Fashion TrifectaHave you given much thought to who your fashion influences are? I’ve been working on my Fashion Feng Shui ®️ Apprenticeship as I prepare to launch styling offerings for my clients and I was inspired to create a visual that looks like a Venn diagram capturing my style icons. A Venn diagram’s typically highlight 3 points of focus that sort of merge to show the logical relationship between them. Honestly, It wasn’t even part of my homework. While it wasn’t part of my required course work, it felt like a natural progression. I couldn’t help but think about where my ideas about aspirational style originated. I thought about the women whose personal style was actually influential in my ever evolving style glow up. My influences are Frida Kahlo, Dita Von Teese and Stevie Nicks who are all equally known for their artistic talents and their iconic styles. I like to inject aspects of each of their aesthetics into mine like a chameleon taking on a role and making it her own.Frida KahloFrida Kahlo was a Mexican Artist who died in 1954 but left her mark on Art and Fashion! Frida was known for everything from her statement jewelry to wearing flowers in her elaborate updos. She wore long flowing skirts and dresses with lace details and colorful layered prints. She dressed in her finest even when she was laid up in bed recovering from a horrific traffic accident. Frida was an artist and her body was as much a canvas for her wardrobe as her physical canvases were for her paintings. I love to channel her style as a staple in my day to day wear because I find flowing skirts and dresses to be the most comfortable attire for feeling creative and feminine. I also freaking love a floral print. I’m Spanish so Frida’s style truly speaks to me. What I found most inspiring was Frida’s penchant for dressing up to be at home!Dita Von TeeseMy next inspiration is Dita Von Teese! The Siren! If you haven’t heard of her, Dita is a Burlesque Sensation and she is stunning. For me she is the epitome of old Hollywood Glamour. Known for her fashion as much as her dancing, she has a line of vintage inspired clothing. While her style is enticing, dramatic and body conscious, it is still tasteful and leaves something to the imagination. Everything she wears is impeccably made and designed to accentuate the female form. She has helped inspire my evening and dating attire. Even though my dating life is on pause right now, I have a wardrobe lined up and ready to go when I get back out there! So gentlemen that may take an interest in wooing me please take me somewhere where I can channel my Dita wardrobe without feeling overdressed! Let’s not jump into Netflix and chill until you’ve had the opportunity to truly experience the Dita effect! Don’t worry I love Netflix just not in the first week or 2 of dating.Stevie NicksSo Next up is Stevie Nicks The Singer! If you don’t know who she is, look her up because she’s the quintessential boho queen! Stevie’s gypsy chic is equal parts rock and roll, witch, mystic and goddess. She’s what those boho girls at the music festivals are trying to channel! Leather & Lace with layers of long flowing skirts and dresses worn with shawls and suede platform boots, accentuated with dramatic layered jewelry. She looks like she has wings when she’s on stage either due to her dramatic shawls or full bell sleeves. There’s something ethereal and bohemian about her style that I find intoxicating. I channel her through my accessories, my sheer lace pieces and long dramatic skirts. So that’s my Trifecta!What’s yours? Feel free to share in the comments! When I start working with my styling clients, I plan to include this exercise to help them better understand their fashion ideals and help them channel those Archetypes into their wardrobe. I want to challenge you all to create your own fashion icon trifecta. I designed mine on Pinterest and recommend you try it. I believe Fashion should be fun and there’s something for everyone.

My First Podcast is an audio version of my first Post here on Substack! I wanted to make my content more accessible and I will be creating audio versions of all my posts for your listening pleasure! Cheers 🥂 LauraHi I’m Laura! I’ve been The Feng Shui Lady ®️ for more than a decade and just recently added Styling Services with a Feng Shui twist. Come join me on my Fashion Feng Shui ®️ Apprenticeship journey!I am rebranding and starting a whole new Newsletter here on Substack. I will soon be adding a certification in Fashion Feng Shui®️to my list of credentials which include: a certification in Essential Feng Shui®️, and Space Clearing, along with a Red Ribbon Professional credential through The International Feng Shui Guild. I could not be more excited about this Trifecta of Feng Shui, Space Clearing & Styling offerings.1. New Services, New Chapter!For those of you who have known me as a Feng Shui consultant for a decade plus, don’t worry, I’m still The Feng Shui Lady ®️ and I will still be practicing and talking about Feng Shui! Some of you were subscribed to my Narrative Space Feng Shui Newsletter on Mailchimp. I have switched platforms making Substack my new home. This is Where Feng Shui meets Fashion. A whole new chapter for me with Fashion in the mix. I suspect my focus will be largely directed towards fashion in the coming months and I will sneak the Feng Shui in through the closet so to speak. For many Feng Shui feels like a luxury, while fashion feels like identity.Women will move mountains for the right outfit! Many will go without, in the pursuit of style. I can definitely relate. This is a passion project as much as it is a business decision. So here I am pivoting and rebranding. I live in LA, so I’m in La La Land the perfect place to reinvent oneself.2. I’m looking for my tribe of fashion enthusiasts with a spiritual sensibility who want to elevate their style…Fashion Feng Shui ®️ is a mindful system of dressing that incorporates modern styling principles with ancient holistic wisdom. It marries my 2 favorite things Fashion and Feng Shui! It harnesses the “energy” of your clothes to align with your personal energies. Everything from your personality, goals, elements, coloring, body type, style and lifestyle are addressed to create a Fashion Portfolio for you.3. Uncover Your Most Authentic & Empowered Self Through Fashion! I did…With Fashion Feng Shui ®️protocols you discover your Elemental Essence, Influence, Intention and Appearance and learn how to harness the energy of your clothes to reveal your most authentic empowered self. You get a Fashion Feng Shui Portfolio that details your best colors, fabrics, prints, silhouettes, styles and elements! Not only will your most empowering styles be revealed, but aspects of your personality and Archetypes will also be uncovered! Your new Portfolio serves as a blueprint from which to curate and build your wardrobe.4. My Journey…Part of my training was to have my own personal Fashion Feng Shui ®️ experience. I learned so much about myself through the process. In Feng Shui we work with the 5 elements to balance an environment. They include Water, Fire, Metal, Wood and Earth. The same principles and elements apply to Fashion Feng Shui ®️ and are connected with Archetypes. We each have a dominant element and Archetype that informs how we relate to all the other elements and how we tick. I realized that my true essence is Water. Yes folks I’m a thirsty b***h! I also discovered the energy and element that was at a deficit for me along with how it could serve me to introduce more of it into my wardrobe. I am in need of more Fire Element which is known as the Captivator Archetype. My life goals and “Intention” calls for me to draw more attention to myself and my work, however since my essence is Water, I tend to swim in it from a fashion and energetic perspective. Water is the Contemplator Archetype. Contemplators are creatives who dance to the beat of their own drum and need their fair share of me time to “contemplate.” They are drawn to offbeat styles and love black or dark colors in sheer and flowy silhouettes with unusual or eclectic patterns. Yep, that’s me! It’s not the whole story but a big part of it. Without going into every detail of my fashion profile, I can say that the Water Essence and Contemplator Archetype is an overarching theme. Even when I wear Fire Element (think red, sexy eye catching clothes, animal prints, and triangular shapes) I wear it in a watery way… I want it to flow. This system allows for you to Alchemize your wardrobe and partner different elements to work for you because they each represent an energy and intention that influences how you feel and how you are received and perceived. It’s really powerful! You always want to be in your “element” and the idea is to learn how to drape yourself in all the elements in a way that is compatible with your essence.Here I am marrying my Essence with my Intention…. If you are new here or to m
